CIASE currently offers nine courses in conjunction with the School of Information Systems and Applied Technologies. ISAT 121 and ISAT 224 are accepted as transfer credits putting you on the fast track toward completing a certificate in IA/CD.
ISAT 121 - Installing/Upgrading Computers
121-3 Installing and Upgrading Computer Systems. This course introduces students to the process of installing and upgrading personal computer systems. Topics include identification, selection, and installation of hardware, operating system, peripherals, and basic networking. Introduction to basic electrical measurements and numbering systems are also included. Lecture and Laboratory.
Restricted to Information Systems Technologies or Electronic Systems Technologies major.

ISAT 224 - LAN Installation Admin
224-3 LAN Installation and Administration. This course takes a lab/lecture approach which leads the student through a series of activities involved in the installation of a local area network (LAN). The student will be introduced to various LAN designs, communication protocols, network certification requirements, as well as procedures for selecting, installing and managing a LAN. Lecture and Laboratory.
Prerequisite: ISAT 121.

ISAT 314 - Ethical and Legal Issues in IT
314-3 Ethical and Legal Issues in IT introduces students to the issues and controversies that comprise relatively new field of Cyberethics. It treats Cyberethics as an interdisciplinary field of study and aims at addressing those in the computer science, information security and networking fields of study. This course covers key concepts/terms, actual case examples and hypothetical scenarios involving privacy, security, intellectual property, and speech in cyberspace to illustrate ethical controversies that convey the seriousness of issues under consideration. These concepts and cases receive reinforcement with review/study and discussion essay questions to facilitate reader's comprehension and reflection of ethical issues.
Prerequisite: ISAT 224.
Restricted to IST or EST major.

3.000 Lecture hours
ISAT 316 - Information Assurance I
316-3 Information Assurance I explores the various means that an intruder has available to gain access to computer resources. Students investigate weaknesses by discussing the theoretical background behind, and whenever possible, actually performing the attack. Then the newest methods to prevent/reduce the vulnerability will be discussed with students.
Prerequisite: ISAT 224.
Restricted to IST or EST major.

3.000 Lecture hours
335-3 WAN Network Installation and Administration
The installation and integration of multiple network operating systems in a wide area network (WAN). Students will be introduced to a variety of WAN networking devices, protocols and procedures for installing and configuring a WAN. A variety of applications and hardware will be used to simulate telecommunication and network functions found in typical business enterprise systems. Lecture and Laboratory.
Prerequisite: ISAT 224.
3.000 Credit hours
3.000 Lecture hours
ISAT 360 - Network Security
360-3 Network Security. This lecture/lab course focuses on design, documentation and implementation of network security solutions that will reduce the risk of revenue loss and vulnerability. It is designed to enhance skills and knowledge in three key areas of network security; firewalls, intrusion detection systems and virtual private networks.
The ISAT 360 Network Security course has recently been revised to include an in-depth exploration of the fundamental techniques and mechanisms for security implementations: cryptography. As encryption, hashing and digital certificate and signatures are ubiquitious in their use for the enhancement of security in all information systems, students spend the majority of this course examining, in detail, how each of these technologies.
Prerequisite: ISAT 316
Restricted to IST or EST major.

ISAT 392 - Special Projects
392-1 to 6 Special Projects. Advanced undergraduate information management systems students will work with current technology to solve problems and develop projects in a team environment.
Restricted to junior standing in the School of Information Systems and Applied Technologies. Special approval needed from the School.
1.000 TO 6.000 Credit hours
1.000 TO 6.000 Lecture hours
ISAT 415 - Enterprise Network Mgmt
415-3 Enterprise Network Management. Examines interior gateway protocols (IGPs) and exterior protocols (EGPs). Routing principles of both distance vector and link-state routing protocols; advanced IP addressing techniques; theory behind routing protocols and route redistribution are discussed. Laboratory exercises allow student to acquire the skills necessary to configure and troubleshoot various routing protocols in enterprise networks.
